Affirming his support for the Second Amendment, Republican candidate for governor Charles Baker said he’d received a score of 94 on a Gun Owners Action League questionnaire and that his running mate, Sen. Richard Tisei, had an “A” rating from the group.

Baker said he was concerned that gun control efforts were a “little misguided,” saying the state’s gun laws are already among the “most strict” in the nation. He cited three factors behind gun violence: cuts in local aid that he said have hurt local law enforcement, reductions in the budgets of county prosecutors, and witness and jury intimidation.

On the last item, Baker suggested that Massachusetts should pursue the “clever idea” of requiring courtroom visitors to sign in before attending judicial proceedings. The requirement, he said, would enable court personnel to check for outstanding warrants and would likely keep intimidators away from courthouses.

Baker talked about gun laws Monday morning on the WRKO morning show hosted by former House Speaker Thomas Finneran and Todd Feinburg. The show’s hosts have openly supported and praised Baker and he’s become a regular caller in the mornings.
